Hey there,
This is part 3 in my series of HTML/CSS Tutorials. Make sure to read the first, then the second, I do not explain things twice!

Now, so far we have learnt ho to make a website with a background, menu, headers and text. Now, next thing we will learn is how to make a footer, and how to make a mini menu.

First, we'll start with the footer. We will start with that so that we kinda have a full page before we start with a mini menu/sidebar.

As always we look at the CSS first.

Code:
#footer
{
	padding: 20px;
	background: url(images/footer.gif) repeat-x
}

#footer p {
	text-align: center;
	font-size: 9px;
	color: #ffffff;
}

As you can see, this will make another div we will use, and some text specifications for paragraphs in the div.

Now, over to the HTML.

Code:
<div id="footer">
<p>Copyright &copy; INSERT NAME HERE 2009</p>
</div>

The only new thing is

Code:
&copy;

which will make the copyright c.

Now, you should have a working footer saying copyright bla bla bla. Be sure to place it before your end tags for html and body!

We'll move on to the mini menu/sidebar now.

Code:
.sidebar {
	float: left;
	margin-bottom: 2em;
}

#sidebar2 {
	width: 200px;
	margin-left: 10px;
}

#sidebar2 h2 {
	background: url(images/.gif) no-repeat left top;
	height: 26px;
	color: #FFFFFF;
	padding-left: 20px;
	padding-top: 10px;
}

#sidebar2 li {
	padding: 5px;
	background: url(images/img04.gif) repeat-x left bottom;
	font-size: .8em;
}

Now, you should get everything. I'll go on with the HTML.

It will look something like this:

Code:
<div id="sidebar2" class="sidebar">
<h2>My Links!</h2>
	<ul>
		<li> <a href="/page.html">Page 1</a></li>
		<li> <a href="/anotherpage.html">Page 2</a></li>
		<li> <a href="/pagethree.html">Page 3</a></li>
	</ul>
</div>

All new is that we use a div with both an id and class, which means both will affect it.

Well, that should go above footer and below content. Enjoy!

Notes:

-Make sure to read entire tut, things are NOT explained twice
-Make sure to have a folder called images directly in your site.
-For the sidebar, maake sure to have the text a little lleft so that there are empty space on your content.
-Have all images, call them the same as mine or change the code.
-Don't worry if you can't make it work, just post here or PM me 🙂
-Your page is incomplete? Experiment with what you have learned, cuz there is no part 4 🙁
